Annoyed - Boil Order

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Our town has issued a boil order, something about an asbestos pipe bursting (we apparently live in the 1950s). They updated their facebook with some FAQs and said that because this happened on a Friday and the lab that tests the water safety is not open on the weekends, we could be without drinkable tap water for a whole week.

I'm now thinking about all the things I'm going to need to boil water for, including DS's baths because he likes to drink his bathwater. I know I can buy gallons at the store, but this is just so inconvenient. Ugh.

ETA: I'm not even sure if I want to shower in water possibly contaminated with asbestos.

Oof, I'm really sorry. I hope that this gets resolved really quickly.

Dude, I'd just be wiping the kid down with baby wipes for a week lol. I'm trashy like that

And also because I have no time to boil a bathtub's worth of water while I'm busy shanking people at public works.

That sucks!

The same thing happened in our city the week that DD was born. I didn't realize how big of a pain it would be. Hopefully they get it resolved quickly.

I'm with habs. My first thought was sponge bath
